Winemaker's tasting note: The elegant, complex nose reveals aromas of candied citrus fruit combined with notes of marzipan and lightly honeyed floral notes. 

Allowed to breathe, the honey fragrance becomes more intense and hints of biscuit, crème brulée, lightly toasted nuts and sweet spices intensify its palette of complex, delicate and penetrating aromas. 

The initial impact is dense and fresh with notes of ripe fruits balanced with ch...

Vintage 2008

2008 -The Champagne vintage set to make history!

A first taste of leading winemakers’ 2008 champagnes reveals a miraculous vintage, bubbling with potential, which – whisper it – might just prove the greatest in living memory.

2008 was not, by any standards, a vintage year for the financial world. And for the greater part of it, 2008 was a pretty poor year for Champagne too: spring was freezing, summer gloomy and overcast. But then, aroun...

Written Notes

Light, green colour. Absolutely charming nose with lovely, round and creamy aromas enhanced with brioche and toastiness. Dry and intense mouthfeel with crisp acidity and balanced fruitiness. Supple and round champagne with great harmony. JL 91p (4/2018)

Inside Information

One of the oldest Champagne houses, Lanson was founded in 1760 by Francois Delamotte, a magistrate from the Reims. The values and expertise that created the unique and enduring style of Champagne Lanson have been handed down from generation to generation. Since 1760, this has been the guiding philosophy of the successive generations that have promoted Lanson throughout the world.

Centuries in the dedicated pursuit of perfection have established the House of Lanson as one of the premier champagne makers. Today, the marriage of a contemporary dynamism with age-old tradition brings pleasure to millions the world over.

Champagne Lanson is one of the few houses in the Champagne region that chooses not to use malolactic fermentation. This decision guarantees the freshness and optimal development of the wines' flavours, allowing vintages to mature fully and evolve their complete array of aromas.

1904, 1928, 1955, 1971, 1990, 1995 or 1996, are among the most illustrious vintages that have distinguished Lanson as a great Champagne House reputed particularly for its Vintage champagnes.
